The world's largest rubber band ball was created by Steve Milton, and has a diameter of over six feet. The 4,600+ lb ball is estimated to contain over 175,000 rubber bands. It set the world record on November 21, 2006 in Chicago, IL. The first record-winning ball was made by John Bain.

But the ball you're asking about was assembled from hundreds of thousands of rubber bands across America by the staff of "Ripley's Believe it or Not". It was assembled as an experiment to test whether a rubber band ball would bounce if dropped from 1,000 feet in the air. (It didn't bounce, but for hours after being dropped you could still hear the rubber bands breaking.)
